Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Chili has become one of my go-to weeknight dinners. It’s so easy to put together and it makes a hearty and delicious dinner. Since I work at home, I almost always have leftovers for lunch and this recipe is one of my favorites because it heats up well and makes plenty of leftovers.

What I really love about this slow cooker chicken taco chili is that there is no browning or sautéing needed. Just add your ingredients to the slow cooker along with the uncooked chicken breasts and the chicken cooks right in the slow cooker. When it’s done cooking, just take out the chicken breasts, shred them and return them to the slow cooker.

This is a hearty, mild chili packed with traditional chicken taco seasonings. If you want to add more spice, you can increase the chipotle in adobo or add a diced jalapeño. I love piling this chicken taco chili with my favorite taco toppings. Melted cheese, fresh tomatoes, avocados, sour cream and fresh cilantro. You can’t go wrong! You can ever served this over tortillas chips or corn chip! Yum!

If you aren’t going to add fresh tomatoes to the top, try adding a 14.5 oz can of drained, diced fire roasted tomatoes to the slow cooker before cooking. Delicious!

Here is a quick video of the recipe so you can see how easy it is to make!
